07 52 00 Modified Bituminous Roofing: Common Contradictions and RFI Guide

Roofing membrane spec conflicts with structural drawings on deck type, slope requirements, and edge condition details.

Most Modified Bituminous Roofing contradictions trace to the same root: the specification and the drawings are produced by different people at different stages, and never fully reconciled before the set goes out. By the time the conflict is found in the field, it is an RFI, a delay, or a change order.

Lintel cross-references section 07 52 00 against your full drawing set, schedules, and the rest of the project manual, flagging every disagreement with a citation to the exact page so it is resolved in review.

What goes wrong

Common contradiction types

Membrane type vs. deck substrate

A frequent modified bituminous roofing conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.

Slope requirement conflicts

A frequent modified bituminous roofing conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.

Edge metal spec vs. detail

A frequent modified bituminous roofing conflict. Lintel reconciles the drawings against the spec to surface it with a page-level citation, so it is caught in review rather than at rough-in.

In the field

Frequent RFIs

  • Membrane type not compatible with deck as specified
  • Slope not meeting drainage requirement in spec
  • Edge metal profile conflict between spec and detail
